It's a way to validate the LLM output in a test scenario.

Does what a US court rules really matter?

Do you not have personal experience with people under 40 in America? I would bet $20 over 95% of them don't know how to balance a check book.

How much time are you saving for each invocation? My 10 year old laptop invokes /usr/bin/env in less time than an HTTPS handshake.

The issue seems to be with Chrome based browsers.

keepassxc does great with TOTP codes, but the default client isn't the easiest to add them with.

I don't understand why people aren't using fake addresses for registering domains. I've had a few registered to 1001 Main St in my local town and a made up phone number for over 10 years now with no issue. Main Street will never be over 40 addresses for the foreseeable future and I can just update the record if need be.

There's something extremely wrong with that iron. I've had a Tenma soldering station to that once, caused by a bad thermocouple that was lying to the controller.

Nitter etc are locked out as far as I know. That was likely a huge load on the site.

The issue is usually with the graphics card itself in my experience.

This is easily "fixed" on a DVI port by plugging a resistor of the correct value into two of the tiny pin sockets. The diagram is very easy to find online and you don't have to open the computer. That's become a thing of the past as far as I know.

It's a manager for the device's extra features, and pairing of dongles since that's not handled by the OS. It replaces a few of the typical Logitech applications that normally do this.

Agree. It's rare to find a failed Logitech mouse.

The TV I bought 2 years ago and never connected it to the Internet. Not even for setup. Zero issues.

dicknuckle — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 03:36:50 +0000

My LG does none of this.

It's also never been connected to the internet, and my router also has a static IP reservation to give the TV an IP that is not on my subnet in case someone in my house ever tries to connect it to the internet.

What a weird generalization. I've had no issues receiving email from plenty of other domains.

On the flip side, it only took me a few days to fix my friend's business domain so they could send emails to Gmail users.

It doesn't play any kind of greeter. Seems to be an online database of spam numbers, I receive calls marked as Spam with a big red exclamation mark. it's not as simple as blocking any calls that aren't already contacts. I could never use that professionally.

Works fine on Kiwi Browser on Android, although I'm using a fairly powerful ASUS phone.
